For inspiration on how to pamper yourself this weekend, keep reading because our editors share their Sunday skincare routines below.

I always take the time to exfoliate my face, but I need to remind myself to do a body scrub. Lately, I've been saving this practice for Sunday nights after a soothing bath, when my skin is nice and soft. I love using exfoliating towels that I found at a Korean spa. You can get a pack of four for less than $5. on Amazon. After exfoliating the dead skin cells, rinsing the skin and drying with a towel, I apply a nourishing body lotion such as CeraVe Moisturizing Creamwhen my skin is still damp. After that, my skin stays silky and smooth for days. 

Alanna, Assistant Editor-in-Chief 

I usually set aside time on Sunday to do a face mask (hint, Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Super Hydrating Mattifying Mask), take a bath or dab your face with a gua sha tool or a roller. Lately I've been aiming for Kiehl's Creme de Corps Foaming Oil in the shower to make my skin super silky and hydrated for a week, and Knesko Black Obsidian Gemstone Roller to firm and relax my face, leaving it plump, soft and ready for the days of make-up ahead.

I like to highlight Sundays to help me focus again. And for me, that always means cleaning up my makeup bag, which by the end of the week is basically a disaster. I make sure to put everything in its place, my makeup brushes, and make a bunch of new products that I want to test next week. And since I'm too lazy to get up early during the week, I try to do my makeup on weekends as well. It reminds me how much I love playing with products and makes me feel like myself again until 2020.  

Genesis, Assistant Editor-in-Chief 

Sunday is reserved for camouflage because during the work week I usually get so tired that I just want to go straight to bed after a night of skincare. I usually use a clay mask which helps detoxify my skin and shrink enlarged pores. One of my favorite? Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask. Formulated with Amazonian white clay and aloe to absorb excess sebum and unclog pores while soothing skin. I like to apply it thinly on my skin and let it dry while I lay on the couch watching one of my favorite TV shows. 

Caitlin, Assistant Editor 

My Sunday routine usually includes snooze the alarm and several trips up and down the stairs with a few loads of laundry and a cup of coffee in tow. I make it my priority to start each week with clean clothes, and more importantly, clean clothes. silk pillowcases. I find nothing more luxurious than diving into bed after a long day and resting my head on the smooth pillowcases that I know help keep my hair and skin in order for the coming week.
